The eccentric pie chart, a generalization of the traditional pie chart is introduced. An arbitrary point is fixed within the circle and rays are drawn from it. A sector is bounded by a pair of neighboring rays and the arc between them, The…

Rosenbrock's theorem on polynomial system matrices is a classical result in linear systems theory that relates the Smith-McMillan form of a rational matrix $G$ with the Smith forms of an irreducible polynomial system matrix $P$ giving rise…

Andr\'e's celebrated Theorem of 1998 implies that each complex straight line (apart from obvious exceptions) contains at most finitely many points whose both coordinates are j-invariants of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We…

Let $B$ be a bilinear form on pairs of points in the complex plane, of the form $B(p,q) = p^TMq$, for an invertible $2\times2$ complex matrix $M$. We prove that any finite set $S$ contained in an irreducible algebraic curve $C$ of degree…

We study the relationship between min-plus, max-plus and Euclidean convexity for subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We introduce a construction which associates to any max-plus convex set with compact projectivisation a canonical matrix called its…

We present a polynomial partitioning theorem for finite sets of points in the real locus of an irreducible complex algebraic variety of codimension at most two. This result generalizes the polynomial partitioning theorem on the Euclidean…

In [19], Taslaman, Tisseur, and Zaballa show that any regular matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ over an algebraically closed field is spectrally equivalent to a triangular matrix polynomial of the same degree. When $P(\lambda)$ is real and…

We study a family of symmetric polynomials that we refer to as the Boolean product polynomials. The motivation for studying these polynomials stems from the computation of the characteristic polynomial of the real matroid spanned by the…

The Sylvester-Gallai theorem states that for a finite set of points in the plane, if every line determined by any two of these points also contains a third, then the set is necessarily made of collinear points. In this paper, we first…

Newton's quadrilateral theorem can be phrased as follows. If H is a circle that is tangent to the four extended sides of a non-parallelogram quadrilateral Q, the center of H lies on the Newton line of Q. We prove that the theorem remains…

A triangulation of a polygon has an associated Stanley-Reisner ideal. We obtain a full algebraic and combinatorial understanding of these ideals, and describe their separated models. More generally we do this for stacked simplicial…

Given a matrix polynomial $W(x)$, matrix bi-orthogonal polynomials with respect to the sesquilinear form $\langle P(x),Q(x)\rangle_W=\int P(x) W(x)\operatorname{d}\mu(x)(Q(x))^{\top}$, $P(x),Q(x)\in\mathbb R^{p\times p}[x]$, where $\mu(x)$…

We show that with high probability the number of real zeroes of a random polynomial is bounded by the number of vertices on its Newton-Hadamard polygon times the cube of the logarithm of the polynomial degree. A similar estimate holds for…

For a convenient and Newton non-degenerate singularity, the Milnor number is computed from the complement of its Newton diagram in the first quadrant, so-called Kouchnirenko's formula. In this paper, we consider tropical curves dual to…

If all the zeros of $n$th degree polynomials $f(z)$ and $g(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{n}\lambda_k\binom{n}{k}z^k$ respectively lie in the cricular regions $|z|\leq r$ and $|z| \leq s|z-\sigma|$, $s>0$, then it was proved by Marden \cite[p. 86]{mm}…

Consider the elliptic curve $E$ given by the Weierstrass equation $y^2 = x^3 - 11x - 14$, which has complex multiplication by the order of conductor $2$ inside $\mathbb{Z}[i]$. It was recently observed in a paper of Daniels and…

The main difference between certain spectral problems for linear Schr\"odinger operators, e.g. the almost Mathieu equation, and three-term recurrence relations for orthogonal polynomials is that in the former the index ranges across $\ZZ$…

According to the classical Gauss-Lucas theorem all zeros of the derivative of a complex non-constant polynomial p lie in the convex hull of the zeros of p. It is proved that for a polynomial p of degree four with four different zeros…
